- Abstract / Summary
- Date: 18.8.18. Place: Sinaketa. Informant: Motagoi. A passage in the Trobriand language with simultaneous English translation, numbered J187, describes and defines the terms 'yaluwa' and 'kaykwabula.' The first is a near synonym of 'baloma,' but with a more specific meaning and infrequently used in Kiriwina. The second is used in the sense of 'shadow,' or 'reflection.' The information is written on the back of reused stationery, consisting of a partial, typed manuscript describing communal house-building by an indigenous group.
